Twitter – A Cautionary Tale

Jenifer Howard was the resident expert at 341 Studio's Fresh Intelligence breakfast event this morning. The subject was online PR, at which Jenifer is an expert. While she covered the gamut of online resources and outlets, she spent a great deal of time on twitter....

Opening the Kimono

Although I'd never heard the expression, "open the kimono" before, I got its meaning the second my coaching buddy spoke those words during our conversation a few years ago. He was about to reveal a bit of closely-guarded information, and I was being alerted to that...

Want to See Perfection?

I followed a link from my online reading of the NYTimes yesterday to a website called hippopota.com. The Home Section had featured Christian Jaillite's photo (left) of a child's stuffed hippo toy in its Kids column. It made me want to learn more. I was awed by the...

What’s the Price of Entry to Be a Remarkable Woman?

$50. Compared to the price tag to be a Davos Man, it's a steal. I was absorbed by a recent article in the Times by Andrew Ross Sorkin entitled A Hefty Price for Entry to Davos, the 'heady power gathering' of the World Economic Forum, a Swiss nonprofit founded by...

And Now, the Rest of the Story

For those of you who have been following my mistaken pedicure appointment last week, here's the last chapter. I got my free pedicure yesterday, and what a treat it was. I shared the whole blog story with Monica, the woman at my feet (!) who delighted in hearing...

A Smile and Some Tears

[youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GkHNNPM7pJA] Two holiday youtube videos came my way last week. The one that made me smile is called The Digital Story of the Nativity. It's clever, well done and makes brilliant use of the variety of social media our culture...

How Are Your Menu Options?

There's a restaurant in my hometown that has a regular menu and a "Specials" menu. Neither has varied one iota since I can remember going there. I always laugh when Lisa, the waitress, hands me the unlaminated sheet of paper with the "Specials" on it as though it...

I’m Having the Best Time…

...appreciating people on a daily basis. I signed up with SendOutCards a few months ago. I recently heard one of the industry leaders speak and since then have been sending out two cards a day to people I want to acknowledge. Sometimes it's a birthday card, a thank...

The Sharon Leichsenring Stamp of Approval

Sharon Leichsenring, artist extraordinaire, paints murals in people's homes and workspaces. She doesn't depend upon people spelling her name correctly to find her at SharonPaintsMurals.com--a wise move when you have a challenging last name to remember, pronounce...

Here’s A PR Idea for You

I had the pleasure of speaking for WBDC last night to aspiring, emerging and seasoned business owners. When sharing my success with the press, which was a piece of cake during my egg decorating days, the question arose: What if you're in a service business? How do...

This Time I Really Mean It

There was something about the way Carol McManus talked about her success with LinkedIn that it finally took. I'm in. Both feet. Maybe it was the $250,000 ROI she's  enjoyed in '10, or the [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oRBchZLkQR0] video clip which...

When “No” is the Right Answer

I've seen the look on the faces of my clients, but there was no mirror handy yesterday during my meeting with Denise DiGrigoli. The expression resembles something close to Munch's figure in The Scream. This time it was on my face. She and I had  gotten  together to...

The Brilliance of Rebecca Morgan

The topic of Making Money in Your Jammies attracted quite a crowd Monday night when Rebecca Morgan spoke about Creating Income from Blogs, Teleseminars, Webinars and Subsequent Products. I've known Rebecca for many years through membership in the National Speakers...
